If I remember correctly, I think I got the pic of Pelican. The bonet conversion is from Elephant Racing. A lot of cutting here and there involved so I'm gonna give it a pass. However it sure does look good.

Look a little more closely Sameer...that's the old style 911 hood (wouldn't even fit on your car).

If you look at the top of the hood, it is cut to allow the flow of hot air from the front oil cooler to escape. I am not sure if you would like a open slot in your front hood.

It's better for cooling on a track car, plus it keeps the air from under the car (which should produce less lift at speed...though without wind tunnel tests, this is just a guess).

I am all for increased cooling - just not sure I want a hole in the front hood of my street car.

Yep - if it is raining, that water will flow up the hood too.
